LEDC Kinda/Sorta Grilled By Council – A Rarity. Mandy Clause Flustered – Part I

Some (relative) fireworks last night as a City council member actually asked some tough questions of Mandy Clause and the Lampasas Economic Dunces Club (LEDC) about their “business” park. Kudos to Herb Peace for asking some tough questions that former council members like Delena Toups would never ask.

Let’s get to some highlights:

15:20 mark: Mandy says “this project is fully funded by the EDC”. This is not true. You are borrowing $1.5 million and posting future sales tax collections as your “collateral”. Sales tax that would otherwise be going to the CITY and its citizens for services.

The LEDC budget is only about $350,000 per year (skimmed off sales tax) – a FAR cry from $1.9 million this “Phase I” will supposedly cost. Not to mention the OTHER big loan you still have that runs for another 19 years, thanks to you giving in to BancorpSouth demands to do so (and costing the taxpayers another $207,000)

15:40 mark: Mandy “We receive RFIs from the governors office on a weekly basis – and they’re all looking for acreage and, currently, as it stands, there is nowhere to put someone…that’s looking for even 2 to 5 acres…we’re having to pass up on some possible prospects because we don’t have the land and we’re not fully developed“

From the way Mandy paints this picture, you’d think the poor, underfunded LEDC was just formed last year and operates on a shoestring budget.

“Everybody wants to come here and set up shop! We’re missing the boat!!”

The LEDC has only spent 17 years and millions of dollars so far – and you expect them to have a finished product? Especially after they basically said in 2015 “Hey, we have a finished product!”

You think that because they spent a million bucks in 2015 to get “shovel ready”, took pictures breaking ground, and made bold proclamations about an imminent influx of companies that they are actually ready??

“Ms. Toups said she wants to continue to provide infrastructure to develop the business park. Ms. Toups said through the Lampasas Economic Development Corp.’s hard work, ***“we are on the verge of seeing large corporations come in [to the business park***]” – **April 21, 2017**

What do you think they are, miracle workers??

Not fully developed? Wait a minute here! The LEDC said over and over the Business Park was “shovel ready” SIX YEARS AGO after they begged for, received, and wasted the LAST million dollars. Remember? I do. Here is a picture of the sign they put up: “Shovel Ready Q4 2015!”

Guess that was another lie. They sure have a way of piling up when the LEDC starts talking.

Let’s be clear about something else: the “prospects” are not looking for acreage, they are looking for a handout from the taxpayers. Period. There are TONS of acres around here. I see them every day. So let’s cut the shit about “no land available” – what the prospect wants is free or subsidized acreage, courtesy of the taxpayers. Huge difference.

In fact, Mike Cour and Eco-Strong strung Mandy Walsh, Misti Talbert and TJ Monroe along for about a YEAR and THEN said “hey, we need $1.85 million from you to start this thing” – and it promptly fell apart.

As a reminder, I had to get my lawyer involved to get this information from Mayor Transparency:

Mike Cour, who flat-out lied to my face and said “we aren’t asking for anything from the City”, later asked for $1.85 million, as you can see from his shitty PowerPoint page above

17:15 mark: New councilman Herb Peace asks “do you have a list of names of the people that have contacted you from the governor’s office?“

Bravo Herb! I have been arguing for that info repeatedly for years. They always keep everything a huge secret. Mandy’s answer??

“I have a list of the projects…the names are confidential….until they choose a site and are ready to start building and developing”

BAM. That is absolute bullshit. I don’t care what the “procedure” is, there is ZERO reason to keep the “prospect” a secret until the very last second. The thought of some clever businessman/scam artist going up against Mandy, Misti and TJ Monroe at the “negotiating table” in a secret room makes me nauseous. That is because Misti Talbert, TJ Monroe, and the rest of the LEDC are incapable and incompetent when it comes to vetting a “prospect”.

How do I know that the LEDC is incapable of “negotiating” a “deal” with a prospect? Because their last “prospect” (which they also kept super secret) strung them along for a YEAR before being dumped. Not a single person on the LEDC (all of whom are STILL there) thought to do a cursory Google search on Mike Cour or Eco-Strong.

Let me repeat that: their ONE and ONLY “prospect” they have had for their ‘Business’ Park and who they tried their best to keep secret, was a CON MAN who has been in the paper for CONNING clients out of money!!

Don’t believe me? Check out “Triton Financial in Austin Texas Lawsuits“

Triton Co-Founder Michael Cour Named In Lawsuit”

In fact, I did ALL the heavy lifting for them. I posted REPEATEDLY on these pages that something stinks about Mike Cour and Eco-Strong. The LEDC members are so naïve, incompetent and desperate to get a deal done, they didn’t see this guy was a scumbag from day one, like I did.

But we are supposed to trust them with the “secret list”. Yeah, ok.

Much more to come….

California Woman Joins Chorus of Liars With Her Own Covid ‘Story’

Boy, the left is REALLY pushing this thing all of a sudden. I have to wonder why. Is it to have a scapegoat for Biden’s failed socialist policies and the massive inflation and shortages we are seeing? Are they keeping the Covid hysteria in the news so there are no stories about the 10% inflation we are seeing everywhere? Is it so he has an excuse to keep handing out money and get the plebes hooked on “free” money before the midterms next year?

I’m not sure which one it is. But this San Francisco moron is jumping in with her own (easily disproved) hysterical rantings:

Works the night shift doing what? Mopping the floors?

“War zone”! “Hospitals overflowing”! Gee where have I heard all that bullshit before??

Here is the REAL data. Two weeks ago, there were only 49 ICU patients with positive COVID tests in all of Miami (population 470,000 and heavily skewed older retirees). When the data updates in two weeks, we will see that this girl’s story was at best a piece of histrionics, and at worse, a complete and total bullshit fabrication.

It’s a scary chart alright: it appears shows an ICU system on the verge of financial collapse because of worsening underutilization.

Oh – and here is a snapshot of the Miami Covid dashboard. It shows ZERO deaths in Miami-Dade since June 9th – 47 days straight.

But keep telling me about the “war zone” you complete scumbags

Virtue Signaling Doc in Alabama Makes Up Obvious Lie About Young Healthy People Dying From COVID

These are doctors Miles and Brytney Cobia:

Brytney made a Facebook post that went viral earlier in the week that is one of the most fantastic pieces of fiction you will ever read:

I’ve seen a lot of obvious lies go viral on social media, but can’t remember one that was this obviously made up since Jussie Smollett. If this were true, which it’s not, then this doctor would be a sadistic psychopath for rubbing it in the faces of dying people that they were dumb for not getting vaccinated.

But of course this never happened. She wanted to push an agenda because only 1/3 of people in Alabama have chosen to get vaccinated, and she wants to scare the other 2/3 into getting the jab. She just went way too far with her story that no rational person could take it seriously. Not a single person in the world believes that you can only catch the virus if you’re a certain skin color.

What this “doctor” is trying to do here is create a caricature of right wingers, because people on her team believe that everyone on our team is a dumb, uneducated, science denying swine. These fictional white people she made up for this story believe that COVID is a hoax, that the virus is political, and that they don’t need the vaccine because they read “misinformation” on Facebook.

But we don’t believe any of those things. We know that the virus presents a much bigger threat to the elderly and morbidly obese. We just don’t think that locking young and healthy people in their homes, shutting down businesses, closing schools, forcing people to wear face diapers, and segregating society between vaccinated and unvaccinated is an appropriate or effective way to stop the spread. We believe in free people making decisions for themselves about what is best for their health, and we don’t believe that the existence of a virus with a 99.8% recovery rate justifies draconian and unconstitutional suspensions of civil liberties.

We know that not all information on Facebook is true. We just don’t want the government and social media companies deciding what is true and what is false, since they have such a poor track record of making those decisions throughout the pandemic.

We know the virus isn’t political, because it’s a virus. But we do know that the reaction to the virus has been completely political. The vaccine was rushed and bad when Trump was President, but it’s necessary and perfect now, and you must not question it. Masks are a way of virtue signaling your political affiliation, and the reopening of the economy coincidentally happened shortly after Trump left office.

So it’s not surprising that the mainstream media and everyone on the left blindly believed this obviously fabricated story from a doctor in Alabama they’d never met.

Our society rewards liars, but only if they make up a lie that goes along with the right narrative. Then the people who control everything will blindly believe it and treat you as both a victim and a hero, which at this point are one in the same. Ask Christine Blasey-Ford, Jusse Smollett, or anyone else who pretended to be a victim of someone or something that had to do with Donald Trump.

But as an example of everything that is wrong with my team (the right), boomer Senators like Tommy Tuberville from Alabama fell for it too:

So did fossil-dummy Kay Ivey, the GOP governor of Alabama:

“Time To Start Blaming The Unvaccinated”

Because old people on the Internet is a horrible mix in general, and our team doesn’t fight and unite like their team. It’s why they win a lot.

“But Lampasshole, you have no proof that she’s lying.”

Actually, I do, because the CDC keeps track of COVID deaths. And according to their website exactly 0 people under the age of 50 in Alabama have died from COVID in July:

That took two seconds to Google, and no one in the media could be bothered to do it because they liked the narrative more. Again, look at her post.

“Young healthy people” ask her for the vaccine when they’re dying from COVID. Not a person, but people. Multiple young healthy people. Yet not one young healthy person in her state has recently died from COVID. She’s a liar.

A look at Brytney Cobia’s Facebook page reveals that she’s been making posts like this a lot, begging for attention by fear mongering. On Christmas she suggested that everyone who didn’t stay home for Christmas risked lives, and those who visited relatives must not really love them for being reckless:

If you did a Zoom Christmas and didn’t let your loved ones see your kids on the most important holiday of the year then you are a horrible family member.

Last summer while 27 weeks pregnant she allegedly got COVID. She then used this to spread the lie that Florida was the epicenter of COVID spread because they were open for business while the rest of the country hid from it, and despite socially distancing herself and always wearing a mask she still got the virus anyway, thus proving that her advice was ineffective and pointless.

Like a lot of doctors she laughed at the commoners who thought they could have “opinions” on whether or not it was OK to force people into their homes and destroy a $20 trillion economy:

I don’t know what any of that means because I’m not as smart as her. Only smart doctors like her can have opinions. Other doctors who disagree with her should be silenced and banned from YouTube.

In her post she cited another doctor she works with named David Wilhelm, who made an insane fear mongering post about how the “Delta variant” was WAYYY scarier than regular COVID, and unlike the first virus it kills the young and healthy:

But he’s just making that up because the only thing they can do to get you to comply is to scare the shit out of you. It’s just not working like it used to. This post said it all:

He’s not sure if you should be trusted with freedom because you are a child who can’t think for yourself. Only smart doctors like him can make decisions regarding your freedom and health. Dumb doctors who provide “unsubstantiated” medical claims (that have all turned out to be true, btw), should be ignored:

BUT HERE IS THE BEST PART!! Her doctor husband Miles was ranting in September that it was INSANE that anyone would take the vaccine!

But that was when Trump was President, and a vaccine that successfully protected people from the virus could help his chances of getting re-elected, so the vaccine was bad and unsafe back then. Now that Joe Biden is (kind of) the President the vaccine is not only good, but must be injected into everyone if you expect to get your freedom back.

Shockingly both Miles and Brytney are virtue signaling BLM supporters who publicly lamented their white “priviledge” during the George Floyd riots.

The imaginary person she made up was right – the virus became political the moment our government decided that mass protests in the streets were safe so long as you were doing it in the name of a political cause they supported.

These two remind us that the face of evil looks like ordinary neighbors.

Comrade Clayton Falls For Every Line Of Covid Nonsense

I expect nothing less from a guy who majored in “International Relations”, has never had a real job and who lives with his mom and dad at age 31:

I mean, hell, if you actually believe socialism will work (like Comrade Clayton does), then you’ll believe ANYTHING!

Anyone want to guess why “99% of all hospitalized patients with Covid-19 are unvaccinated!”?

Because it’s policy NOT to test vaccinated people when they come in.

Remember, this is the same idiot who went from “I hate Big Pharma” to “you better get your shot or you’re killing grandma” in about two seconds flat. That’s what happens when you are a know-nothing clown horn with zero principles:

**“I have Pfizer’s cock in my diapered mouth!!”**

You keep telling the lies, Comrade Clayton….and I’ll keep debunking them.

LEDC 2020 Versus LEDC 2021

I love doing these. Catching some of the people in charge completely contradicting themselves with their own words and actions later on. After they get all indignant the first time around when I call them out publicly for being totally full of it.

Who can forget the previous hits like:

Talbert 2017 Versus Talbert 2020

Hostess House 2019 Versus Hostess House 2021

Well, now we have another one.

Remember back on August 12, 2020 when I was lambasting the LEDC for the obvious lies about “economic injury” from Covid? They were trying desperately (and fraudulently, in my opinion) to grab some federal Covid dough to prop up their piece of shit “Business” Park. A project that has been a disaster for about 15 years before Covid showed up. Here is an excerpt from my post:

All these facts didn’t stop City council from lying through their teeth like scumbag welfare queens with their “Resolution Authorizing Application” for this grant – which will be made through Langford Community Management Services. You can find the entire resolution in the City council packets HERE on Page 44.

It partially reads:

“WHEREAS the ‘Applicant’ has determined that the economic activity generated from this project will positively impact the City economy, overall, which has been adversely affected by the COVID19 disaster;

City council then UNANIMOUSLY voted to approve this resolution. You can hear it HERE at the 25 minute mark.

I REPEATEDLY called them out for this whopper of a lie.

Well, it only took them 11 months to admit it, but better late than never. From this weeks LEDC meeting packet (see page 28 under Sales Tax):

Whoopsie!

I’m sorry, I’m not really good at math. So, does the time period of “the last 18 months” encompass last August (11 months ago) when you were spinning piles of bullshit to get a federal grant?? I’m a little confused.

Luckily, LEDC has a brand-new President who is SUPER good at math. At least she was when she was mayor. Maybe she can figure it out!

Inbred LEDC Decides To Inbreed Some More – Talbert Takes The Wheel

It was barely a month ago that I laid out my case for TJ Monroe to be removed from the LEDC. There is simply too much of a conflict of interest – Mayor Monroe overseeing the LEDC (Lampasas Economic Dunces Club) upon which she also happens to sit as a board member.

Ditto for Talbert.

The incestuous nature of these two groups is a large reason (in my humble opinion) that the LEDC has gotten away with wasting MILLIONS and accomplishing nothing – all while the same group of four or five numbnuts get to keep calling the shots.

Instead of maybe taking these facts into consideration, the inbred group decided to double down and inbreed even harder this week. From the 7/16/21 council meeting packet out today [page 149]:

“The LEDC met and voted to appoint Misti Talbert as President of the Lampasas Economic Development Board.”

Seems like just yesterday, I was reading a “Misti-eyed” (get it??) “riding off into the sunset” farewell full of plenty of self-aggrandizement, eh? Actually it was May 26th. Congratulations! You managed to stay out of the limelight for an entire 57 days!

I think maybe she needs a hobby. The lure of the limelight and the narcotic of that low-level celebrity and tiny bit of power is apparently too much to ignore for more than two months.

So, the woman who was behind countless episodes of wasteful spending as mayor for four years is now going to head up the LEDC. The LEDC which, by the way, just voted to take on another $1,500,000.00 in debt AND as a condition of that “favor” BancorpSouth is doing them, to EXTEND their previous loan another 10 years – costing the taxpayers and additional $207,000.

Bravo!! I look forward to several more years of costly bungling by the Dynamic Duo of Monroe and Talbert! Makes my job here SO much easier!

Level-Headed Doctors Don’t Make The News

Dr. Natasha Kathuria is making national news by telling histrionic stories of hospital overload in Austin. Perhaps she is a distant relative of Rhonda Witcher??

The reality?

As of Monday, a whopping 5% of Austin’s hospital beds were occupied by patients with a positive COVID test.

ICU levels are far below prior peaks

Link to Austin/Travis County Covid dashboard.

All hospitals in Austin combined: about 25 ICU/Covid patients per week. In a city of roughly one million.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me TWICE….well, you are a moron if you fall for all of this nonsense a second time. Rhonda Witcher, Chris McDaniel and the rest have ZERO grasp of math, statistics or proportion.

For Sale – White Privilege Card

I’m selling my white privilege card.

It’s over 50 years old but is in mint condition. It has never been used, not even one time.

Reason for selling is that it hasn’t done a damn thing for me! No free college, no free food, no free housing, no free anything. I actually had to go to work every day of my life while paying a boatload of taxes to carry those who chose not to work!

If you are interested, I prefer cash but would be willing to do an even trade for a Race Card which seems much more widely accepted and comes with countless benefits if you fit the profile!

Interested? Contact me on my Non-Obama cell phone that I pay for every month…

Rhonda Witcher Spreading Delta Variant Fear. Don’t Listen To The Old Fart.

The supposed former “college professor” (who can’t spell correctly) is now an expert on the “delta variant” and the unapproved vaccine they are trying to shove down everyone’s throats. Between her and local moron Christopher McDaniel, it is clear that news of the death of the Covid Cult was greatly exaggerated. They are back and more determined than ever to try and scare you with horseshit.

***Bull. Shit. Unless, of course, your daughter is a known psycho and hypochondriac. Like her dad.***

According to today’s Radiogram and Rhonda Witcher:

“…it is still very important to get the vaccine. Many families have and will lose loved ones because of the hesitancy to take the vaccine.”

Recall that Rhonda was previously hysterical about “hospitals being overrun!” – which never happened. Why this retard thinks she has ANY credibility left is beyond me. She is an embarrassment to herself and her radio station.

Piss off, Rhonda. Your “delta” assertions are a gigantic pile of garbage. The Delta variant is FAR LESS deadly than previous strains. PERIOD. So please stfu with the fear-mongering, you decrepit old libtard.

Yes – it is more contagious, but WHO CARES about that?? Seriously, these retards STILL won’t accept that “covid” is here to stay forever. It is everywhere – like the flu. Even the super-duper Olympic bubble and strict procedures CANNOT STOP IT, as Japan found out in about 48 hours.

Funny how every single person pushing this vax shit so hard is an absolute rabid liberal who despises Trump. Just a coincidence, I am sure. Politics has nothing to do with it, right Haywood, Tucker, Witcher and all the rest of you?

I always love how people who don’t wear masks (because we know they don’t work) or submit an unapproved vax (because the vax is riskier than Covid to our cohort) are “rednecks” and “dumb hillbillies”. As someone who was valedictorian of their high school class and who attended one of the top 10 universities in the United States, I take umbrage at that.

Remember the good old days (about 2 years ago) when libtards would scream “my body, my choice”? Yeah, that’s out the window – a victim of libtard hypocrisy, like so many other things.

Instead of being a fear-mongering pussy, go out and get in shape and take vitamin D every day. THAT actually helps. Masks and lockdowns DON’T.

If you DO catch this thing, we now KNOW that Ivermectin and HCQ are EXTREMELY effective at treating it. Funny that a year ago when Trump suggested HCQ might work, these EXACT SAME LIBTARDS pooh-poohed the idea because “orange man bad”, right? But we are supposed to believe these same morons now, even though they have literally been wrong about EVERYTHING for the last 18 months?

Suck it, Witcher. Telling people they will DIE if they don’t take the vaccine is a major scumbag move. It simply isn’t true.
